Live: Swans VFL player launches insane 100-metre goal, Giants tackle Blues

With only 22 seconds on the clock, Motlop holds his nerve to snap a pivotal major for the Blues to bring the margin back to eight points.

It looked like he’d mucked up the chance by dropping the mark, but he was clipped high in the process so earned the second chance. Had to be kicked, and Jesse kicked it.

Jordan Endemann of Sydney’s VFL side has just kicked THIS. Someone will get the tape measure out eventually, but to my untrained eye this is a goal of at least 100 metres and surely more.

I have never seen a goal kicked from futher out than this, and I’d be surprised if you had either. Madness.

The Blues have not been able to stop these waves of GWS counter-attack. There is so much space for the Giants to run through in the middle of the ground.

Hogan is the last man in the chain again and his set shot is true. It’s a 15-point game but the Blues feel like they’re at breaking point.

All about the Giants’ pressure this time as they force a turnover at half-forward. The Blues were sluggish coming out of defence and once the Greene tackle stuck it was all over.

Ward was out the back, he took his time to steady and slot the goal.

Some of the best Carlton ball movement of the day, skirting the boundary line all the way but eventually leading to a dangerous centering kick to the hot spot. Charlie flew and pulled down a strong mark.

Curnow has got three, and it’s a three-point game again.

Just when Carlton needed him, Sam Docherty steps up with a cracker from deep in the pocket.

Lurking out the back of the contest Docherty got the handball and split the needle with a checkside on the run. Wonderful goal.

That’s goal number two for the Coleman Medallist, and another goal conceded by the Blues in transition. The Giants go end to end so quickly and effectively, and Hogan was found leading back hard into the pocket.

Hogan’s left-footed finish was cute and GWS leads by 17 points.

It won’t surprise you to hear that Toby Greene won the first clearance of the third quarter. The Blues must do something about him or it’s hard to see a path to victory.

Toby is determined to put game number 250 up on the podium.

Carlton leads the way in terms of the inside 50 count, and it felt like the Blues owned a lot of the territory in that second quarter. But missed chances opened the door for the Giants at the other end, and GWS made them pay.

The Blues have been in front at half-time in nine out of their first 10 games so far this season, so this is a bit of a new experience for them. Still plenty to play out in this one.

The Blues fans aren’t happy with the whistle in this second quarter, but there was little to complain about with that one. The Giants took the ball from deep defence to deep attack far too easily after Greene was taken high at the other end.

Riccardi was the man in space on the end of it and finished the play off nicely with his set shot. Important goal late in the half.

And that one is the best of the lot. The Carlton defence went to sleep as Hogan’s shot sailed wide but also short, allowing Brown to mark almost uncontested deep in the pocket.

His little left-footed snap from just inside the boundary line was delightful. Giants take the lead back.

Leek Aleer threw himself back bravely at the footy but when he didn’t hang on to the intercept mark deep in defence, the Blues’ smalls could go to work.

Fogarty got the first hand, dished it off to White who snapped from directly in front. All tied up again.

Hogan just moved Tom De Koning out of the way like he was nothing to clunk that contested mark. Too big, too strong.

Last thing the Blues need is Hogan getting involved. That’s his first of the afternoon.

Electric start to the day’s footy at Docklands, with five goals apiece in the first quarter leading to a one-point GWS lead.

Toby Greene has been absolutely everywhere in his 250th game, clearly the best afield so far.

Everything else though has been pretty much dead even. Tough to separate on the stat sheet, tough to separate on the scoreboard.

Ten disposals and two goals for Toby Greene in the first quarter of his 250th game. Outrageous start.

Greene had a free run at that long ball inside 50 as the Blues defence got muddled up. Easy mark, relatively simple left-footed snap.

Curnow was clipped high by Taylor in the marking contest and made no mistake with his resulting set shot.

Nine goals in the first quarter and we’ve still got three minutes to play.

The little grubber pass from Greene through a sea of bodies inside 50 was incredible. The vision and the craft from Greene opened the play up for the Giants, and the slick handball from Himmelberg to Riccardi was just as quick.

Goals galore in the opening stages here.
